Abstract
To suppress detection of a pseudo defect due to a positional deviation between an inspection image and a reference image.SOLUTION: An inspection device 1 inspects an inspection object W by comparing an inspection image J obtained by imaging the inspection object W with a reference image K. In the reference image K, a registration pattern Pk is registered among a plurality of patterns P formed in the inspection object W. In the inspection image J, a detection pattern Pj similar to the registered pattern Pk is detected among the plurality of patterns P formed in the inspection object W. Based on a position Lj of the detection pattern Pj in the inspection image J and a position Lk of the registered pattern Pk in the reference image K, the inspection image J is aligned with the reference image K. The detection pattern Pj and the registered pattern Pk are respectively partitioned into a plurality of regions D, and the detection pattern Pj and the registration pattern Pk are compared with each other in the regions D corresponding to each other, whereby coincidence between the detection pattern Pj and the registered pattern Pk is determined.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
